After the horse parade, the empress dowager summoned Zhao Qingyun.
Originally, the Queen Mother wanted to summon Gu Qingcheng into the palace.
But, isn’t he sick?
As the Queen Mother, no matter how noble she is, she cannot carry a poor sick person into the palace.
The Queen Mother was really worried, so she had to call Zhao Qingyun before the emperor issued an order.
The saint has already investigated and asked Zhao Qingyun whether he is ready for marriage.
The magistrate of Heyin County has also submitted a memorial, giving a detailed introduction to the situation of Zhao Qingyun and the Zhao family.
The saint verified the statements of both parties and concluded: Zhao Qingyun did not speak and he was indeed unmarried.
The Zhao family's family tradition is indeed very good, with kind elders, friendly brothers, close relatives, and filial children and grandchildren.
The entire Zhao clan is a model of family harmony.
As a result, the customs of the entire Heyin County seem to have improved.
Zhao Qingyun's knowledge and talents were verified by scientific examinations at all levels;
His appearance is right there.
The sage was pleased with everything he saw, and if it weren't for the Queen Mother, he would have issued an edict on the spot.
Queen Mother: ...Is it really that good?
She had doubts and summoned Zhao Qingyun into the palace.
Well, this guy is really good-looking, with a face like a crown of jade, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and the temperament of "a man of culture and elegance", which makes him look gentle like jade and a modest gentleman.
"So what if he's good-looking? If he's a bad person, isn't he just a beast in human form?"
The Queen Mother said this to herself.
Then she began to ask targeted questions.
for example--
"The top scholar is a young talent, so he must have many expectations of his wife. She should take care of the household, raise children, and help raise the children—"
These spoiled girls are not good enough, but they are the good wives and mothers that men need most.
The Queen Mother concealed her emotions and deliberately spoke in the tone of a bystander.
Zhao Qingyun smiled slightly, "I married a wife, not a housekeeper."
A wife is to be loved and protected, not used to work for her.
He said this without any falsehood.
From childhood to adulthood, he has watched his capable father take care of everything at home and outside.
As for the mother, all she needs to do is be beautiful and well-behaved.
She doesn't have to do anything.
In other words, men cannot give birth to children, otherwise the father would probably take care of even things like pregnancy and childbirth.
After his father passed away, Zhao Qingyun took over his father's burden and began to take care of his sick mother.
He also got used to this kind of life where he studied and took the imperial examinations outside and managed everything at home.
Zhao Qingyun doesn't need to marry an equally capable wife to share the burden.
Call him a male chauvinist or say he looks down on women, he always feels that he can be alone.
He doesn't like women who are too strong.
Just like Zheng Wanjun next door.
She has a good background, strong abilities, and is also very lucky for her husband.
But she looked down on the weak and foolish Gu.
She was not very close to her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and she had no sense of belonging to her husband's clan.
The best?
Even if the people in the Ji family's old house are not presentable, a daughter-in-law should not be too contemptuous of them.
Those who directly create confrontation and make it as hostile as fire and water are not truly smart.
This person's thoughts are inconsistent with Zhao Qingyun's.
The stronger her abilities are, the worse it is for Zhao Qingyun.
He was also afraid that such a capable wife would bring him trouble.
It’s better to be like my mother, who can’t work but is obedient.
Princess Nanping?
Han Jiaojiao!
The little tail that followed his mother back then, and the "weak" figure in the restaurant.
Zhao Qingyun inexplicably had a feeling that he and Han Jiaojiao were a match made in heaven, oh no, they were a match made in heaven!
With this understanding, the Queen Mother was particularly satisfied with Zhao Qingyun's performance.
He doesn't mind his wife's illness or frailty, and doesn't care whether she can manage the household affairs or socialize.
That's great, most men in this world can't do it.
Even if a son-in-law is a gigolo, he still wants his wife, who has her own property, to serve him.
The Queen Mother also learned from Zhao Qingyun that his mother was a frail woman, and that in their Zhao family, men have always been the ones "in charge of the whole family"!
What a tradition!
There is no such thing as men working outside and women working inside, but men are responsible for both inside and outside!
The Queen Mother began to act like a mother-in-law, and the more she looked at Zhao Qingyun, the more satisfied she became.
Afterwards, Gu's health seemed to be better, and Zhao Qingyun accompanied her into the palace.
The Queen Mother did not see the vulgar and fierce old widow she had imagined, but instead saw a weak and extremely beautiful single foolish woman.
Very good, the Queen Mother no longer has to worry that Gu will turn into a wicked mother-in-law who beats and scolds her daughter-in-law!
He is so "innocent" and very easy to coax.
Han Jiaojiao didn't even need to take action. The Queen Mother could just assign two old maids to make Gu obedient.
Finally, the Queen Mother asked the abbot of Ci'en Temple, Zhao Qingyun, and Han Jiaojiao to compare their horoscopes.
The best choice!
A match made in heaven!
The Queen Mother no longer had any worries.
The saint then issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage.
Zhao Qingyun, the newly crowned top scholar, suddenly became a prince.
The sons of powerful and wealthy people in Beijing were completely relieved and secretly sympathized with Zhao Qingyun: He married a sickly woman of noble status. Tsk tsk, his life will definitely not be prosperous!
But soon, these people regretted it.
Three months later, Han Jiaojiao got married.
There were 168 loads of dowry, and each one was solid.
The real ten miles of red wedding filled up the Zhao family’s imperially bestowed mansion.
The emcee who sang the dowry list had his voice hoarse from shouting.
